So excited to see @nfp_nerd appointed to lead @ACNC_gov_au - Sue is a genuine champion for smart, well-run and impactful charities and NFPs, and will do an incredible job regulating, supporting and inspiring the sector. Good luck Sue! probonoaustralia.com.au/news/2022/11/a…

Incredible #Robodebt Royal Commission livetweeting from @SquigglyRick and @DarrenODonovan showing public servants knew the scheme was unlawful but permitted its heinous roll-out. Gobsmacking, heartbreaking, eye-opening, terrifying. Follow them for more.

Casino 'high roller rooms' are essentially the only public enclosed spaces where smoking is permitted in Queensland. I recently gave evidence at @QueenslandParl1, calling for this loophole to be closed to deliver better health outcomes for workers and patrons.

Some really sensible reforms have been proposed by @qldhealth to reduce the negative effects of smoking in Queenslanders. While industry will certainly push back, you can have your say at getinvolved.qld.gov.au brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/queen…

Summer has officially arrived and while many of us are looking forward to soaking up some sunshine, it can cost us dearly if we're not careful. These three young Australians thought they were invincible until they were given a devastating diagnosis: skin cancer. #60Mins

Great to hear @GregHuntMP commit to releasing a National Preventive Health Strategy that will include a goal of reducing Australia's daily smoking rate to 5% by 2030 (currently ~14%). Fine commitment, to be backed up by meaningful action. Kudos. youtube.com/watch?v=oIAkB7…
